Adjective

Usage notes

 * The word in the sense of “last, final” may be euphemistically replaced by  by native speakers who perform dangerous jobs (e.g. pilots, climbers, etc.) due to a superstitious fear of foretelling one's death;  can be seen as connoting “for the last time [in one's life]”.

Noun

 * 1)  scapegoat, fall guy
